Where can I change the Asp.net MVC 3 Razor syntax

Question

I searched Tools > Options, but where in VS10 can I turn off or change the default highlighting for the new Razor view on the @nuggets in ASP.NET MVC 3?

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 2015

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Font and colors

The name of the property is HTML Razor Code Background Change the Item background to the color you like.

Answer 2

The syntax highlighting for razor is based on the c#/VB default highlighting. So you'll have to change those settings to see any changes in a cshtml file highlighting. Might be a good feature request...I don't know.

Answer 3

Razor only adds one entry to Fonts & Colors, "Razor Code". That controls the background color given to Razor Code nuggets. The rest of the colors are the same as the C#/VB colors. The "@" character itself and Razor keywords like "model" and "section" use the same color as the ASPX "<%" tag ("HTML Server-Side Script", thanks to another Andrew for digging up the specific entry).

If you'd rather we had separate entries for some of these, please email us and suggest that: [e-mail]
